Creator's Key Takeaways

A state of emergency has been issued in Bise City for the area in the immediate vicinity of the cruiseport and in the coming weeks this could impact more than 20,000 passengers.

Without a solo cabin, they often have to pay what is called a single supplement fee, which is the equivalent of paying the cruise fair for an additional passenger.

Everyday, first responders, teachers, and members of the military put others first. We're proud to honor them with these new and enhanced deals so they can enjoy the kind of vacation they truly deserve.

The vessel encountered propulsion issues and ultimately it had to be towed back to port. The ship departed yesterday on schedule with its next group of passengers.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Ensure any excursions are booked through the cruise line or a reputable excursion company when visiting areas with safety alerts.
โœ“If going ashore on your own in high-risk areas, stay in the secure tourist shopping area.
โœ“Solo cruisers should look for specific solo cabins to avoid paying the single supplement fee.
